Shen Long's implication was naturally to go to Carnegie Hall and Aveley-Fisher Hall to perform on stage, and he wondered, maybe this is Wang Qiming's ideal, right? He wanted not only to make money, but also to make money from music and earn the respect of Americans.

"Haha! That's what we all thought! Boris Dmitrov, a violinist from the Symphony Orchestra of the Plovdiv State Opera in Bulgaria, patted Shen Long on the shoulder and said, and several other musicians also showed a look of concern and did not laugh at Shen Long.

How could they not have been like that in the first place? Coming to New York with great ambitions, coming to the Lincoln Center for the Arts to try to find an opportunity, only to come here to realize that there are simply too many geniuses in the world; It's like Ryuji Tanizawa, in Japan, he is a good basketball player, but in the United States he is nothing.

"I've been in New York for seven years, seven years ago I was outside the Lincoln Center, and I'm still here." Robert McGoldrick, a flutist from Ireland, shrugged his shoulders.

"Wang, it's good to have dreams, but if you want to succeed in New York, you can't rely on dreams alone." Boris Dmitrov sighed, "You should have just arrived in the United States, right?" Anyway, you're off to a good start today, but you're still far from entering Carnegie Hall! ”

Shen Long pretended not to understand, and still jumped out word by word, although Guo Yan couldn't understand it, but from Boris Robert's expression, they could judge that they were obviously not optimistic about Shen Long's dream.

Yes, although the two of them are performers in China's symphony orchestras, China's symphony orchestras are too far behind the world's top symphony orchestras like the New York Philharmonic.

However, seeing that Shen Long was still on the rise, Guo Yan didn't hurt his mood, maybe after hitting a wall in the future and being rejected by the New York Symphony Orchestra, he would be able to sober up, right?

Of course, Shen Long knew this, and he would never be able to enter Carnegie Hall by relying on his playing skills alone, but music was more than just playing skills.

A group of people came to the familiar bar and ordered something to eat and drink, Boris and Robert enthusiastically introduced Shen Long to the common sense of the New York classical music scene, Shen Long continued to pretend that he didn't understand, and still tenaciously communicated with them word by word, and Guo Yan began to be bold enough to join the discussion.

After hearing that Guo Yan is a violinist, Boris and Robert are very envious, after all, having a fellow lover is a very happy thing for these artists, "Wang, and Ms. Guo, since this "The Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto" is a violin concerto, and you are a violinist, why don't you perform together?" ”

"yes, I can't wait to hear your ensemble!" Others chimed in, "The cello alone can't fully bring out the charm of this piece!" ”

"No, I can't!" It was not easy for Guo Yan to accept her husband to come out to perform, and she never thought about what the scene would be when she stood on the side of the road to perform.

"Why not? Didn't the two of us cooperate well when we performed in China? Come on, change your clothes tomorrow, bring your violin, and we'll be performing at Lincoln Center! If Deng Wei and Xiaozhen write to us and ask us what we are doing in the United States, let's just say that performing at the Lincoln Center sounds awesome! Shen Long persuaded.

"Virtue! Can that be the same! Guo Yan was amused by his unrelenting tone, performing in the plaza next to Lincoln Center and in Carnegie Hall was very different.

"Hey, I think it's all the same, we perform, and the audience pays us if they like it, what's the difference? You say don't you? After Shen Long finished speaking, he also stumbled a few words and told Robert and Boris the meaning of this to them.

"Hahaha, Wang, you are right! We all eat on music, there is no essential difference! They were amused by Shen Long's humor, "Come, a toast to the king's words!" ”

After drinking, Boris patted him on the shoulder, "Wang, you are much more interesting than the Chinese I have met before, and I think you are more suitable for life in New York than me!" "Bulgaria is a member of the camp of socialist countries in Eastern Europe, and there is relatively more communication with China, so Boris has met Chinese musicians before, but they feel completely different from Shen Long, who has a temperament that he can't understand.

"Madam, I think Wang also hopes that his lover can accompany him in the performance." Robert persuaded, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes, wondering if he remembered some of the past.

"You're not planning to put your violin away completely, are you? You've been studying for so long, are you really willing to let go? And it's better to do this than to wash the dishes with dishes, right? Look at Boris, the status of the people was higher than that of us in China; Besides, if Ning Ning asked, do you think she would prefer to hear the two of us continue to perform music in New York, or serve dishes and wash dishes? Shen Long continued to persuade.

If Guo Yan goes to do something else, or simply does housework at home, sooner or later her mood will change, which will affect the harmony of the family, which is obviously not in line with Wang Qiming's wishes.

The big guy didn't drink much, but the time dragged on quite late, Guo Yan was very curious about this habit of holding a glass of wine all night, and asked Shen Long on the way back, Shen Long began to talk nonsense again, "Hey, I'm thinking, Lao Luo and Lao Bao are also poor, if they drink openly, they will definitely not be able to drink, so don't you have to do this." ”

Walking through the bustling Manhattan and returning to the slum where she lived, the smile on Guo Yan's face quickly froze, especially when she saw the ill-intentioned homeless people next to the fire, she subconsciously hugged Shen Long's arm.

When Shen Long got up the next morning and finished washing, she saw Guo Yan carefully wiping her violin there, and she also figured it out, since musicians like Boris don't feel embarrassed, what do they have to worry about?

And this place really can't continue to live, even if it's to save enough money to move out of here early, she has to help her man, two people make money faster than one, right?

"Deller, let's go out for a bite to eat, and then we'll go to work at Lincoln Center!" Shen Long picked up his cello with his hand.
